History & Biography This band was active in the heyday of thrash metal when bands like Nuclear Assault, Sodom and Destruction sang of horrors of war. The band was active between 1987 and 1993, became more deathcore-oriented and, as with everyone else, returned in 2010 only to disappear again. Nuclear Assault had a song called Radiation Sickness. Singer Doug Palmer and guitarist/bassist Ryan Rollins who went the way of Elvis in 1989 founded the act.
We Are All Victims was a late 1988 demo. The Elvis Ain’t Dead demo of 1989 was a predictor of statements like ‘the moon landing was fake’ or ’Trump won the election’ or ‘Babymetal is metal.’ You know, crap people say that is just false. Putrefaction Records of France issued the Bounds Of Reality EP in 1990. The band appeared on a local Mid-West USA program called Take No Prisoners. Next was Germany’s Old World Records and its The Other Me A Journey Into Insanity EP. The band was also heard on the More Than Death – Volume I sampler. Disfigured Retard was heard on The Other Me EP. The band dissolved, but issued a compilation called Circle Of Sickness 1988 – 1990 in 2005.
A record called Reflections Of A Psychotic Past was released in 2012. This was half filled with older tracks. Guitarist Tom Ball went the way of Ryan Rollins in 2014. Scott Bronner of Mercy Kill and Demiricous replaced him. A 2012 compilation was called The Madness Begins 1987 – 1990 and predictably featured early material. A couple of split release appearances followed.
The band opened for the likes of Impetigo and Repulsion and also Cannibal Corpse and Autopsy at the A Day Of Death Festival in its first incarnation.
